Ed Miller is one of the brightest and most accessible poker writers working today. This is a great resource for anyone who is serious about poker.
Overview
Many players are probably familiar with Ed from his work with 2+2 publishing - especially his excellent title Small Stakes Hold’em. Noted Poker Authority is Ed’s blog where he posts shorter-form articles, answers questions from users, and serves up other resources to help improve your poker game.
Look
Done in WordPress with a simple three column layout, so a nice and clean interface. If anything, it might be a little too drab - but it’s still a step up from 2+2. There are some text ads, which I don’t mind, but they take up a whole column, meaning the content of the site is a little squeezed. Some short articles require a little more scrolling that they should.
Content Quality / Quality
Top-notch. Ed’s throwaway articles beat 90% of the crap written about poker on the internet, and most of the articles aren’t throwaways. This is clearly the work of someone who really enjoys thinking about poker and who is also articulate enough to communicate those thoughts effectively to others.
As far as quantity goes, the site is pretty deep for it’s age, and the updates are frequent. Ed is also pretty keyed in to the poker industry at large, so you can expect a fairly steady stream of content from this site as the situation surrounding online gaming continues to develop.
Unique Pros / Cons
The blog format allows for interaction between Ed and his readers, which is a nice touch.
Bottom Line
A well executed blog from one of the best writers working today. Check it out now.
